Civics education

Indiana attorneys are being offered the opportunity to show off their judicial skills. The Indiana Bar Foundation is seeking
lawyers to volunteer as judges during the 2015 Indiana High School Mock Trial Competition.

Praising the We the People curriculum for instilling a sense of civic responsibility in the next generation, Indiana Senate
President Pro Tem David Long pledged that state funding for the program would continue.

Soon after the Penn High School Mock Trial team was crowned the 2014 state champions, the congratulatory messages on Twitter
and other social media began. The students were praised and called an "inspiration." Penn secured its first Indiana
Mock Trial championship by defeating long-reigning state champion, John Adams High School of South Bend.

The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana will host a dramatic interpretation performance of the Indianapolis
Public Schools’ historic desegregation and busing case as part of February’s Black History Month Celebration.
